PRACTICE AREAS
Chapman Avocat advises SME and mid-sized company leaders facing legal and tax structuring challenges, international development projects and complex cross-border operations.
The firm’s work is particularly suited to technical, industrial and B2B sectors, where law is not a mere support function but a lever for growth, risk control and strategic steering.
Industry and engineering
Chapman Avocat works alongside leaders of industrial companies, engineering firms and manufacturers facing issues of legal structuring, export operations, complex value chains and international contractual organisation.
In these environments, a poorly calibrated legal decision can block market access, weaken supplier relationships or expose the company to major tax risk. Law is here directly linked to operational performance.
The firm supports the legal and tax structuring of industrial activities in France and internationally, the securing of business contracts (distribution, agents, subcontracting, joint ventures, subsidiaries) and the implementation of structures adapted to the company’s economic reality.
Industrial equipment and B2B technologies
The firm supports companies developing industrial equipment, B2B technological solutions, professional software and integrated systems, in particular in international deployment contexts.
These activities involve complex contracts (licensing, integration, maintenance, services, SLAs), intellectual property issues, tax structuring and cross-border flows.
Chapman Avocat advises on the legal and tax structuring of operations, the securing of international contracts and the support of international growth, through a pragmatic, business-oriented and execution-focused approach.
Transport, logistics and supply chain
Transport, logistics and supply chain companies are by nature exposed to permanent cross-border issues: international contracts, multi-jurisdictional operations, subsidiary structuring, complex financial and tax flows.
In these sectors, legal risk is immediately operational: cargo blockages, contractual disputes, tax adjustments, supply chain disruptions.
Chapman Avocat advises leaders on the legal and tax structuring of their activities, the securing of transport and logistics contracts, and the optimisation of international structures, with a clear objective: operational fluidity and risk control.
Renewable energy and infrastructure projects
The firm works alongside leaders and entrepreneurs developing projects in renewable energy and infrastructure, in particular in contexts involving project structuring, holdings, joint ventures and international deployment.
These operations involve sophisticated legal and tax structures, multiple contractual relationships and long-term security issues.
Chapman Avocat advises on the legal and tax structuring of projects, contract negotiation and the securing of investments, within a framework of global steering and long-term sustainability of operations.
Chemicals, materials and plastics
Companies in the chemicals, materials, plastics and composites sectors operate in demanding regulatory and contractual environments, with strong international exposure.
In these sectors, compliance, liability and contractual structuring are directly linked to the company’s economic survival.
Chapman Avocat advises leaders on the legal and tax structuring of their activities, the securing of international contracts, relationships with foreign partners and distributors, and international development operations.
The approach is targeted, strategic and adapted to the industrial and regulatory constraints specific to these sectors.

The firm supports companies in the aerospace and aviation sector, in particular equipment manufacturers, subcontractors and niche players, in their international operations.
These companies face high contractual requirements, strong regulatory constraints and decisive legal and tax structuring issues.
Chapman Avocat advises on the securing of contractual relationships, the structuring of international activities and strategic decision-making, in an environment where legal error often carries immediate and significant cost.
